[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1032585, member: 131855"] I have been feeding the great Google monster trying to get a handle on this problem. Here is what I think is happening. OS X gives you the option of formatting a hard drive as case sensitive or not. Is it possible that one of the drives is formatted to handle case-sensitive filenames and one is not? I did find this suggestion for a fix but I have not found and indication whether it works: "There were also some music files within my iTunes music library that were affected, however I think I've found a way around that by 1. Music is currently stored on DriveA (case sensitive) 2. creating an empty Music folder on DriveB (non-case sensitive) 3. setting iTunes to 'keep music folder organised' and 'copy files to music folder when adding to library' 4. clear existing library from iTunes (not deleting music files) 5. pointing music location to new folder on DriveB 6. adding all music from DriveA to library (& thus having iTunes copy it to DriveB) Have a lot of music, so it's taking some time, but it seems to be working."
